Former Ghanaian President Jerry John Rawlings passed on at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra a year ago today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To mark this anniversary, his family has announced a remembrance mass in his honour at the Holy Spirit Cathedral at Adabraka in Accra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flt. Lt. Jerry Rawlings was a former military leader and subsequently became a politician who ruled Ghana from 1981 to 2001, and also for a brief period in 1979.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He led a military junta until 1992, and then served two terms as the democratically elected President of Ghana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rawlings initially came to power in Ghana as a flight lieutenant of the Ghana Air Force following a coup d\u2019\u00e9tat in 1979.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to that, he led an unsuccessful coup attempt against the ruling military government on 15 May, 1979, just five weeks before scheduled democratic elections were due to take place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A charismatic figure, he first seized power railing against corruption and was responsible for executing several former heads of state for their alleged graft and mismanagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was also seen as a champion of the poor, but came to be criticised for alleged human rights abuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A week of national mourning was announced in Ghana for the country’s longest-serving leader, who oversaw the transition to multiparty elections in what is now one of Africa’s most stable democracies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
